Did anyone else think the author undermined her main point –- namely that serious women have better things to do than feel competitive with other women on the basis of their comparative physical charms –- by doing precisely that? And, what is worse, with no apparent awareness of having done so? It’s obvious the author considers herself to be a serious type –- not “so pathetic, so uninteresting, so completely tragic and brain-dead [as to] view all other women through the prism of demented competitiveness.” Yet what else could one call it when she labels Margaret Thatcher as “freakish” and someone “who didn’t strike anyone as being immediately recognisably female”? As far as I'm concerned, she's doing exactly what she claims adult women don’t do: dissing a fellow female on the basis of her looks (or alleged lack of same), according to some tiresome, narrow and, presumably, male-centric standard of physical beauty!

A quarter is probably the most one would want to waste when lobbing coins at Titus' posterior. It is not known if, for instance, Liberty dollars or the fifty-cent-piece will rebound when hurled at Titus' hind quarters because, thus far, no one has been willing to sacrifice those relatively higher denominations in order to find out.

I just had Fage Yogurt for lunchy and it was delish. I love showing my Fage Yogurt to bystanders proving my fabulousness. I will open it and lift it a little into people faces so they can see the label. I do similar things with my shoes and clothes. It's important people know what they are dealing with.

Paul: The author's point was that Thatcher was taken seriously because she was so weird. You need to read the entire article instead of just knee-jerking a response.

I'm surprised that the author didn't mention Sarah Palin. Here's a woman who was in charge of the largest state in the Union, and the biggest news stories are about her ass and her uterus. Although she had the bad luck to be a prominent Republican woman in a year when Hillary Clinton was making a Presidential bid.
